Kriashen Tatars

Settlements

There are very few sources that discuss the nature of Kriashen villages,
and even their precise locations are unclear. Kriashens appear to have
traditionally located themselves near streams or springs, building one-or
two-story houses along narrow, straight streets. Their houses were for the
most part wooden and had elaborately carved facades. In front of the
houses were carved picket fences and low gates.
